Suppose you purchase a $1,000 TIPS on January 1, 2016. The bond carries a fixed coupon of 1 percent. Over the first two years, semiannual inflation is 2 percent, 2 percent, 4 percent, and 2 percent, respectively. For each six-month period, calculate the accrued principal and coupon payment. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
